Mike is an inspirational speaker specializing in leadership resilience and critical decision making in high stress/ adverse consequence situations. He empowers leaders with the mindset, principles and tools possessed by successful expedition leaders so that they may excel in times of crises. Mike recently retired as a Superior Court Judge. His education includes earning a Diploma in Advanced International Legal Studies at the University of Salzburg, a Juris Doctorate at McGeorge School of Law, a Bachelor of Arts in Economics and a second Bachelor of Arts degree in Social Ecology at the University of California, Irvine. Michael works with CEO’s, Executives, and other leaders- decision makers- who must act in the reality of ever-changing conditions and higher levels of uncertainty. Who, as a consequence, experience anxiety and fear which clouds their judgment and impairs good decision making at a time it is most critical.

Whether it is a remote Mayan village in Southern Mexico or the streets of Istanbul, Mike possesses an ability to connect with people bridging cultural differences and finding common understanding and respect. Mike is a former Adventure Racer and mountaineer. He became a certified scuba diver at the young age of 13 and holds rescue diver qualifications. He has dived on reefs, wrecks and in kelp bed forests in many of the world’s oceans. His passions run deep with the sea and in the high mountains and it is there where he feels most at home.

  • Serves Jacksonville, FL
I help people become clear, confident speakers in real-world situations—business presentations, interviews, toasts, and important conversations where the words actually matter and how you deliver them makes the difference. My background is in competitive public speaking and coaching, with 18 years of experience. I’m a multi-time national public speaking champion, a repeat national finalist across impromptu and extemporaneous formats, and I’ve spent years teaching students how to organize ideas, tell compelling stories, and deliver them with clarity, presence, and confidence. What clients usually appreciate most is that I don’t teach “performance” for performance’s sake. We focus on clarity, structure, and sounding like yourself—just sharper, more confident, and easier to follow, both on the page and in the room. Whether you’re preparing for a big presentation, a wedding toast, or a high-stakes interview, my goal is simple: help you say what you mean and be heard.See more

Jacob G. says, "Carol has been teaching our children for 15 months. They adore her and are excited for each class. She continues to help them organize and articulate their writing and speaking. She encourages reading books to be fun while discussing with us how they can realate to the characters. Last few months, she introduced inferences to help our son to stay on point using short passages. Carol has an unique ability to create a lively and productive lesson. Her passion for language arts helps our children to strengthen their unique writing style and vocabulary not done at their school. She has really helped both of them to become better story tellers through their writing. We are grateful to have found her!"See more
